Weaning my little ones was a joyous, messy and occasionally testing experience! This book aims to help you through the next development phase: introducing your baby to the colourful, flavourful, wonderful world of food.

The thought of weaning can be daunting to the most self-assured mums and dads. I know I felt that way, even with my third! But while every baby is different, one thing is the same for all parents: the importance of serving them delicious, nutritious dishes with minimal fuss and maximum benefits.

There is no one-size-fits all approach and there are decisions to be made: spoon-feeding purees or baby-led weaning What equipment dont you need and where should you spend extra With so much contradictory advice out there, I wanted to provide a go-to guide that arms you with everything you need to know as your baby starts on solids.

Youll read about the basics of good nutrition; techniques; equipment; ages and stages (what they can have, and when). Ill also share my go-to recipes for the key stages in the first 15 months, developed over the process of weaning my three children. These are simple, easy-to-follow meals and plans that require minimal prep time, make the most of your ingredients and wont break the bank. Ive also provided recipes for the months and years that follow, including sections on feeding the entire family (the ultimate goal!) and the perfect things to serve at party time.

There will be testing moments but there will be joyous ones too Ill never forget the look on my childrens faces when they first tasted baby rice! So take a deep breath, trust your intuition and dive in!

Love, Holly xxx

Praise from Mumsnet mums:

Being a first-time mum, it was confusing how to go about weaning my baby. Truly Scrumptious Baby educated and motivated me. Now I feel like I have the best helper.

I can see this being a firm family favourite for years to come.

This book has made dinner time so much more pleasant and happy!

Truly Scrumptious Baby is a truly scrumptious book! Absolutely loved every recipe and have read cover-to-cover. You actually do not need another cookbook, it contains a variety of recipes from simple purees to mid-week roasts and fun treats for all the family.
